Structure and Dynamics of Membranous Interfaces

Kaushik Nag, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Physics at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. His research interests include biophysical and structural biochemistry of lipid-protein systems in lung surfactants and biomembranes. In addition, Dr. Nag is involved in using Langmuir films, giant liposome, Deuterium-NMR, fluorescence and atomic force microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, Raman/IR imaging, and molecular dynamics simulations to study lung surfactant and biomembrane structure and dysfunction. He is the recipient of a prestigious five-year New Investigator Grant from the CIHR and major infrastructure funding from CFI and NSERC for Surface Nanobiology Laboratory.
